Planet offers high-resolution rapid tasking across its SuperDove, Tanager, and Pelican constellations.

Planet provides a near-daily scan of the Earth’s landmass and tens of millions of square kilometers of global oceans.

Planet has successfully launched over 600 satellites to date.

Planet announced a forthcoming Owl constellation that is being designed to deliver near-daily 1-meter-class imagery.

Planet’s announcement does not change the company’s previously issued fourth-quarter financial guidance provided in its December 10, 2025 earnings release.

Under the multi-year contract, Sweden will own a suite of Planet satellites and have access to Planet’s high-resolution data and intelligence solutions.

The Swedish Armed Forces and Planet reached a multi-year, low-9-figure agreement to deliver a suite of satellites, space-based data, and awareness solutions to support Sweden’s peace and security operations.

Planet expects to recognize the commercial payments from the Swedish partner as revenue over several years.

This agreement is Planet’s third Satellite Services contract in twelve months.

Planet has signed over a half a billion dollars across three satellite services contracts in the last year supporting national security needs of Japan via JSAT and in collaboration with Germany.

Planet will leverage the increased capacity of its expanded fleet to serve government and commercial customers globally.

Starfish Space identified the $52.5 million award as the first contracted mission specifically for end-of-life satellite disposal services compared with typical missions that treat disposal as a one-off or a demonstration.

Starfish Space will launch an Otter spacecraft for the deorbit mission in 2027, and the Otter spacecraft can deorbit multiple satellites in a single flight.

The U.S. Space Force awarded Starfish Space a $52.5 million contract to deorbit satellites in the Space Development Agency’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture constellation when those satellites reach their expiration dates.

Under the Starfish Space contract, the Department of Defense can continue procuring deorbit services beyond the initial deorbit mission.

The contract with Starfish Space covers end-of-life satellite disposal services for satellites in the SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture constellation.

In 2024 the Space Development Agency awarded six study contracts worth a combined $1.9 million to Starfish Space, Arkisys, Impulse Space, Quantum Space, Sierra Space, and SpaceWorks Enterprises to study the feasibility of deorbiting PWSA satellites.

Trevor Bennett is a cofounder of Starfish Space.

Starfish Space is headquartered in Washington state.

Deorbiting satellites helps the Space Development Agency operate its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture constellation for a longer period.

The expanded order from Xona builds on the prior collaboration between Xona Space Systems and Aerospacelab.

Launches for Pulsar’s early deployment are scheduled to begin in late 2026.

The expanded partnership positions Aerospacelab as a flexible, high-throughput supplier to constellation operators.

Pulsar-0 demonstrated a rapid speed to orbit and validated Xona Space Systems’ low Earth orbit-based approach to high-performance positioning, navigation, and timing.

Aerospacelab will serve as Xona Space Systems’ transition manufacturing partner for initial Pulsar deployment.

Aerospacelab will supply flight-proven satellite platforms and systems integration expertise while Xona develops in-house production capabilities in California.

Xona Space Systems selected Aerospacelab to produce eight additional satellites for its Pulsar next-era navigation constellation.

Aerospacelab’s Versatile Satellite Platforms (VSP) and integration services will accelerate early Pulsar deployment and enable Pulsar to offer commercial services to Xona’s earliest customers in the distributed timing and connected devices markets.

Orbex entered a negotiation process to pursue a buyer after signing the letter of intent with The Exploration Company.

Orbex began work on a medium-lift launch vehicle called Proxima in December 2024.

Orbex has signed a letter of intent to sell its business to The Exploration Company.
